Can a good Muslim be a good American?
I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.

The following is his reply:

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Koran, 2:256)

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation.... perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish.... it's still the truth.

If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above statements, perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.

Pass it on Fellow Americans. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.

Alot of negative vibes and technical malfunctions do not help either. Hopefully there is clear sailing ahead for BK now that some of the "riff raff" has disappeared.

LOL.. Looks like Youve got much work to do.. Seems the old Riff Raff wasnt the problem here??? hehehe..

Dang! Ya just dont get it.. The soul was ripped from here, with trust and respect....

Now its all small talk, lots of bitchin, lack of respect from newbies and outsiders...

Hmmm.. Every place needs a foundation and the foundation has left this place..

goodkarma? 55 yrs old? My old aunt Nellie. The 21 yr old in your pic doesn't even have kids, unless you count the dog. You sound wayy too much like a guy I know of named Kirk and not acting or typing in any way as a bona fide buddhist/taoist would act.
No wonder you've changed your handle, and now have decided you are a woman looking for a man? Get real dude. Namaste my rear end. Your reputation preceeds you and explains you hiding. Another example of why people here believe there are only fakers and cheaters and scammers on here. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but if not at least the jig is up.

Forgiveness is the path to glory. I'm not suggesting that what you good folks are claiming about the terrorist support issues isn't true in this case, but it seems like there have been many intense relationships that have blossomed on this site. However if we truly want peace in our life (and I see many of you signing off with peace and love gestures so you must want it) then we must develope non-aggressive behaviors in our own hearts. It is the first step to global unity. If you disagree with the management here, then you have every right to leave, but a quiet slipping away might be healthier for you, since I have found that aggressive language only makes one feel more and more aggression. Kevin, my friend, your site may fail because many people, possibly you as well find it hard to let go of our anger at life's injustices--but, in fact we only hurt oursleves by holding on to negative feelings. Namaste
